My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1176
Ling Xue nodded and responded: "Yes, let's work together."

From then on, they worked hand in hand and wrote their own legendary story. No matter how many difficulties and challenges they encountered, they always remained firm in their beliefs and moved forward courageously. Because they knew that only by supporting each other and advancing and retreating together could they overcome all difficulties and obstacles and realize their dreams and goals.

Although they are master and servant, the subtle feelings between them are hard to conceal. During the day, they stroll in the courtyard, and Zhou Xing sometimes instructs Ling Xue on her cultivation experience; at night, they read ancient books in the study of the castle and discuss the way of cultivation together. As time goes by, the two gradually adapt to this special identity setting, and they become more and more tacit with each other.

One night, the castle suddenly sounded an alarm, and a group of uninvited guests attempted to invade. Zhou Xing immediately revealed his fierce nature as a count and quickly repelled the enemy. However, during the battle, he was accidentally injured by the enemy's weapon and blood flowed. Seeing this, Ling Xue rushed forward without hesitation and blocked the attack with her body. A firm light flashed in her eyes: "Master, I will protect you."

Zhou Xing was startled, then his mouth curled up slightly, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. After the battle, they stood side by side on the terrace of the castle, looking at the rising sun in the distance, and Zhou Xing said softly: "Thank you, Ling Xue, with you here, I feel that this road is not lonely."

Ling Xue responded with a smile: "No matter what form I exist in, I will always be by your side." Her smile was filled with a warmth and determination that she had never had before.

In this special test, they not only face external challenges, but also explore and understand each other's inner world. Although the role setting temporarily puts them in different positions, their hearts are always close to each other. This experience not only makes them more resilient, but also deepens their feelings for each other.

From then on, the two spent the rest of their lives together, facing the joys and sorrows of life together. They understood that only by supporting each other and advancing and retreating together can they go further on the road of life.

That night, the stars were shining brightly. They sat together, looking up at the sky, their hearts full of longing for the future and endless courage. They were ready to face the challenge of the next level. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, they were fearless. As night fell, the lights in the town gradually lit up. In the Haoqing Sect, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing ascended together. They didn't expect that they would have to go through 1,881 tribulations together. In the 111th level, Zhou Xing became a vampire count, and Ling Xue became his maid.

As night fell, Youyue City was shrouded in silence. Only the lights in the Regent's Palace were brightly lit, reflecting Zhou Xing's cold and hard face. He was once a feared god of war on the battlefield, but now he was confined to a wheelchair because of a conspiracy. This humiliation was like a cold iron chain, tightly binding his heart. Zhou Xing held the divorce letter tightly in his hand, on which Ling Xue's name was written. Every word was like a sharp blade, cutting his remaining self-esteem.

"Ling Xue, you have such a cruel heart." His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, revealing endless chill and anger. Since the sudden illness knocked him down, the warmth of the world seemed to have gone away, leaving only indifference and betrayal. However, it was this heart-wrenching experience that made his heart tougher and more cruel.

At the same time, in the residence of the Minister of Rites, Ling Xue stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of the Regent's Palace in the distance, with mixed feelings in her heart. That night, she mustered up the courage and wrote the letter of withdrawal that determined the fate of the two. She knew that once it was sent, it would mean that there would be no turning back between her and Zhou Xing. But she knew even more clearly that with Zhou Xing's current physical condition, continuing this marriage would only push him into a deeper abyss. She would rather bear all the infamy and give him a chance to stand up again, even if the price was the end of their relationship.

"Father, I made what I think is the right choice." Ling Xue said softly to the Minister of Rites behind her, with both determination and reluctance in her voice.

The Minister of Rites sighed and patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Xue'er, I understand your intentions, but this road is not easy to walk, you must be prepared."

"I'm ready. No matter how many storms lie ahead, I'm willing to bear them." Ling Xue's eyes were firm, as if she had foreseen the difficulties in the future.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and illuminated the streets of Youyue City, an invitation from the Regent's Palace quietly appeared in the mansions of the nobles. It was Zhou Xing, as the Regent, announcing that he would hold a grand banquet, in the name of celebrating his recovery, but in fact to announce his return to everyone and his positive response to Ling Xue's breaking off the engagement.

At the banquet, Zhou Xing sat on the high platform. Although his body was still confined to a wheelchair, his aura was enough to shock the whole audience. His eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and finally fixed on Ling Xue who was not far away. When their eyes met, there seemed to be an electric current in the air, and the surrounding noise instantly quieted down.

"Today, I want to thank a special person - my ex-fiancée, Miss Ling Xue." Zhou Xing's voice rang out, and every word was clear and powerful. "It was she who made me understand what true strength and letting go are. Ling Xue, thank you for your help."

These words were beyond everyone's expectations. Ling Xue was stunned. Her eyes were slightly red, and she felt touched and bitter. She had never thought that Zhou Xing would publicly thank her on such an occasion, and she had never thought that he would face this past so calmly.

"Zhou Xing, you..." Ling Xue hesitated. She wanted to say something, but found that no words could express her feelings at the moment.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, that smile showed both relief and reluctance: "Xue'er, from now on, you and I will be well. I hope you can find your happiness, and I will continue to walk the path I should walk."

After the banquet, Zhou Xing returned to his study alone. He sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window at the dark night sky, with mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that his feelings for Ling Xue had not dissipated because of the broken engagement, but had become deeper with the passage of time. But he also understood that the disparity in status between the two and the past grievances and hatreds made this relationship out of reach.

In order to divert his attention, Zhou Xing began to devote more energy to government affairs. He used his wisdom and skills to quickly stabilize the court situation, punished a group of corrupt officials, and won the respect and love of the people. At the same time, he secretly trained an army loyal to him to prepare for possible changes in the future.

As time passed, Zhou Xing's leg disease gradually improved under the careful care of the imperial physician. When he stood up again, the whole Youyue City was shocked. People were amazed at his perseverance and perseverance, and were full of expectations and confidence in his future rule.

However, just as Zhou Xing was about to devote himself to national affairs, a shocking news came - Ling Xue was kidnapped by a group of mysterious people! It turned out that those forces who were dissatisfied with Zhou Xing's reforms attempted to threaten him to abandon his reform agenda by kidnapping Ling Xue. Upon hearing the news, Zhou Xing was furious. He immediately summoned his trusted troops and secret intelligence network to launch a rescue operation. After a thrilling pursuit and fierce battle, they finally found the imprisoned Ling Xue and rescued her safely.

When Zhou Xing saw Ling Xue, who was covered in wounds but still strong and unyielding, his heart was deeply touched. He hugged her tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Xue'er, I'm sorry that I came late and made you suffer."

Ling Xue snuggled in Zhou Xing's arms with tears running down her cheeks: "I knew you would come, Zhou Xing." At this moment, the hearts of the two seemed to be integrated. All the grudges and hatreds disappeared at this moment, leaving only the deep attachment and reluctance to each other. After this incident, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes. Although they have not yet explicitly expressed their reunion, the tacit understanding and care between them have surpassed the relationship of friends or even lovers and have become an indispensable part of each other's lives. And Youyue City has also ushered in a new chapter under Zhou Xing's leadership...

In a luxuriously equipped castle hall, candlelight flickered faintly, and shadows enveloped the surroundings. Ling Xue, wearing a dark maid outfit, stood quietly in the corner, observing everything around her. Her expression was calm, but there was a subtle alert in her eyes. "Click", a light sound broke the silence of the hall. Zhou Xing's tall figure gradually emerged from the darkness. He was wearing a red suit, with deep and cold eyes, just like a noble vampire count. He held a glass of red wine in his hand and slowly walked towards Ling Xue, who was sitting on the sofa chair next to the long table.

"Ling Xue, come here." Zhou Xing's voice was deep and powerful, with irresistible majesty.

Ling Xue raised her head, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she still walked forward obediently, took the wine glass, and filled Zhou Xing with red wine. Zhou Xing looked at her, his eyes were both indifferent and implied with a hint of tenderness.

"Senior Sister, you are still so beautiful." Zhou Xing said softly, gently stroking her cheek with his fingers.

Ling Xue was slightly startled, and the turmoil in her heart was suppressed under her calm appearance. She understood that at this moment, she was just his maid and he was her master. The roles of the two had completely reversed.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Ling Xue said in a low voice, her tone calm but with a hint of firmness.

At this moment, the gate of the castle was suddenly pushed open, and cold wind rushed in, bringing a sense of foreboding. A group of men in black rushed in, holding silver weapons, and it was obvious that they were not friendly.

During their ascension, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect were accidentally involved in 1,881 tribulations. At this moment, they were about to face the 113th level, in which Zhou Xing was the reborn prince of Yin State, and Ling Xue was the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion who traveled through time.

The morning sun shines through the window lattices in the palace, casting mottled shadows on the gorgeous carpet. Zhou walks out of the bedroom with a deep and determined look. He remembers everything in his past life and knows the challenges he will face in the future. He is determined to use this opportunity of rebirth to change his fate and protect his beloved.

At the same time, Ling Xue also woke up in the boudoir of the general's mansion. She rubbed her eyes, and memories of the modern world emerged in her mind. She realized that she had traveled to a strange ancient world and became the daughter of the general's mansion. She felt both uneasy and expectant.

The fate of the two began to intertwine at this moment. Zhou Xing learned that the general's mansion had a beautiful and talented daughter, so he decided to visit the general's mansion in person. Ling Xue also heard the news that the prince was coming, and her heart was full of curiosity.

Zhou Xing's carriage slowly drove into the general's mansion, and the mansion was busy. Ling Xue stood at the door of the mansion, wearing a lavender dress, looking dignified and elegant. Her eyes fell on Zhou Xing who got off the carriage, and she was secretly surprised at the extraordinary demeanor of this prince.

Zhou Xing got off the carriage and his eyes fell directly on Ling Xue. He smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the general's daughter is both talented and beautiful. After seeing her today, it is true that her reputation is well-deserved."

Ling Xue bowed slightly and responded, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. I am a humble servant with limited knowledge and I don't deserve such praise."

The two smiled at each other, as if they could sense the tacit understanding between each other. Afterwards, Zhou Xing was led into the living room, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with the owner of the general's mansion, he asked to talk to Ling Xue alone.

In the pavilion in the garden, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue sat opposite each other. Zhou Xing said bluntly: "I came here this time to invite Miss Ling to participate in the palace banquet. I wonder what Miss Ling thinks?"

Ling Xue thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She knew in her heart that this was a good opportunity to get close to the royal family and learn about this world. At the same time, she also developed a sense of curiosity and trust in the prince.

As time goes by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue become closer. They dance together at a palace banquet, attracting everyone's attention. However, the ever-changing situation in the palace forces the two to remain vigilant at all times.

One day, news came from the court that enemy troops were ready to move in the border areas. As the daughter of the general's mansion, Ling Xue was naturally very concerned about this. She volunteered to serve the country. Although Zhou Xing was worried about her safety, he also understood her determination and ability, so he agreed to her request.

As night fell and the lights came on, the sky of the capital was covered by dark clouds, looking gloomy and depressing. In the Regent's Palace, Zhou Xing sat in his study, looking out the window with deep eyes. Although his legs had recovered, the haze in his heart had not dissipated for a long time.

The letter of breaking off the engagement from Ling Xue, the Minister of Rites, was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard. The sweet vows of the past have now become a joke. He cannot accept this reality, and he cannot forgive the woman who betrayed him.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to rest." The guard's voice interrupted Zhou Xing's thoughts. He nodded slightly but did not stand up. He knew that this night was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the land of the capital. Zhou Xing, dressed in casual clothes, left the palace with a few confidants. He wanted to find Ling Xue and ask her why she was so heartless and unrighteous.

Arriving at the residence of the Minister of Rites, Zhou Xing took a deep breath and pushed open the door. The servants in the residence bowed their heads and saluted when they saw him. They knew that the Regent was not someone to be trifled with, so they all gave way.

Zhou Xing went straight to the backyard and saw Ling Xue practicing swordplay. She was agile and her swordplay was sharp, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.
